  1. The Anthology Project: Giving Voice to the Silent Scholars North Lindsey College Presenters: Stephanie Codd and Glenys Richardson

  2. Ideas behind the project • ‘Silent Scholars’ • Student as producer • Student as an agent for change • Sharing good practice

  3. The Process • Financial support from the Consortium • Encouraging students to submit their papers • Identifying a range of suitable papers • Working with the contributors on their papers • Format of the Anthology • Launch event

  4. Developing the papers • Balance of Cert Ed and PGCE contributors • Reading the papers and agreeing the standard • All papers submitted were included • Not “publishable” quality • Development event: student input on launch, advice on improvements • One to one support

  5. The launch of the Anthology • A celebration • Inspirational speakers • Guests included current students, mentors, managers and family members

  6. Our Speakers • Ian Staples: Motor Vehicle tutor • Dr Denise Robinson: Consortium Director • Alan Rayment: Sports instructor and gym manager

  7. Impact • Increased confidence in the participants • Raised the profile of the course and the trainees • Launch event was inspirational to current students • We intend to use the Anthology to help students to prepare for conference

  8. More than a celebration? • The original rationale remains pertinent • Work should not remain in the collection • Should be revisited • Should be disseminated to managers • However, a first influential step – thanks to the original funding

  9. Discussion The Anthology project has been worthwhile in the NLC context • Would a similar project work in your setting? • Do you have any other ideas to share on promoting scholarship and sharing good practice?
